The most expensive gaming hobby ever gets cheaper as Warhammer 40K finds a home on the PC.
Games Workshop?s miniatures juggernaut has shown up in a few games in the past few years, but most feel that Dawn of War will do the most justice to the popular Warhammer 40K franchise.Developer Relic isn?t trying to turn the Warhammer 40K tabletop experience into an RTS; rather, its plan is to make a great RTS in the Warhammer 40K universe. Races will include Space Marines, Chaos, Orks, and one other race that hadn?t been announced at press time, each with its own signature units and abilities. Units in Dawn of War will have detailed morale code, the ability to equip different types of weapons, and four-way customizable badges and color schemes. Best of all, Relic has all but defeated resource-gathering in this new RTS: You?ll fight to control strategic locations, and each one you occupy will give you Requisition points to use to request additional reinforcements.
